God is Alive n Well but some of this is simply a lie and it's sad that we teach our kids that WE came from Monkeys

I GOT TO SEE ONE OF THE MOST WHOLE T-REX'S!!! You need to go here if you are in the area at all! If you have kids, this would be so fun for them!! Ancient Egypt as well!!

Interesting exhibits! We enjoyed the animal exhibits, especially the Tsavo lions.

This place is really worth visiting! All the exhibits are kid-friendly and very educational. I would totally recommend it if you are visiting Chicago

All animals three-dimensional (3D) designed. Both children and adults for a great museum. In particular dinosaurs amazing ...

LOVED this museum! Something to do for all ages. Great exhibits!

Amazing visit. Never disappoints! Old.or young so much to discover!

Aside from the Art Institute, this is the best museum in Chicago. Absolutely worth the price of admission you'll want to spend a good chunk of your day here.

Avoid the gift shop. Overpriced by several thousand % , Everything made in China pretty much

A lot to see, but very expensive for what it is, considering other museums are either cheaper or free. Worth checking out if you have the city pass

A very cool museum. My daughter loves seeing the animals and dinosaurs. She's a bit young for some of it but she still seems to enjoy herself when we go. It's usually crowded but not unbearable so. This is a nice amenity to have in the city.

Beautiful and complete museum. For any type of person or age.

Great museum. Interesting exhibitions. Reasonable pricing

2 time loved it even more, sad that Sue is no longer in the grand all but Maximo fits right in!

Amazing exhibits. Make time to tour the place, it is huge! Took us 4 hours.

The place is great and the arts are very incredible.

Exhibits are very cool and the staff is great. An underrated attraction of Chicago.

Great place to learn about dinosaurs as well as natural species on earth. Losing one star for ticket stuff s rudeness.

A great place to dive deep into history. From ancient civilization to minerals to plants and wildlife, knowledge is everywhere.

Great place to go. They always have great exhibits and attractions.

I have never been to a museum that I have enjoyed more than the Field. It is educational without being dull, which I think makes it a great place to bring kids, too. Every time I go, I feel like there is more that I want to see. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place for kids and families to come to! Large enough to walk for 2 hours and exolore and learn! We even got the basic package and there was enough to see! Very clean only wished the food were more affordable but otherwise definitely recommend to others!

My kid just love it and we has a very good time in there and learned a lot about different things.

Absolutely amazing museum. Could spend 2 or 3 days in it and still not see everything.

Prices are ridiculous for the number of exhibits that aren't functional. Some exhibits seemed rushed and poorly-planned. It's worth a visit... once.

The field house is an amazing museum to visit!! So many dinosaurs to see, including tree sur

Tons to do and they will coat check your luggage if you have a flight to catch!

I'm not a history buff or really into it. I could give this four or five stars for as much as my husband loves it though and it did look very full and informative to me. For me and my 3 and 5 year old, it wasn't for us. And I have been here twice as a kid and twice as an adult, I was bored everytime....But because it's just not my thing.

They do have a family kid lab/play area in the lower level, which is where I ended up taking my kids. They liked it and had fun, but on the Sunday we went, it closed at 3 and so I was stuck chasing my kids through the rest of the museum while their father looked around. There also isn't that much to do in the play area and they were starting to get bored after an hour.

If this kind of stuff interest you, you will love it. Definitely go. They have a lot.

An absolute must visit place in Chicago.
One must keep one day in hand to visit this museum in order to properly experience the exhibits. I particularly liked the exhibits on Egyptian pyramids, but other exhibits on dinosaurs and on oceans in general were also great!!

What a great and informative time! Some of the best exhibits there is in the US.

The anchor to the museum campus, the building is stunning. The diversity of exhibits is amazing, and sometimes unusual. But that's a good thing.

Awesome place to spend the day. My only gripe is the way they do the lines when doors open. Lots of people standing around when a line is out the door. Especially when most of the people already bought tickets through GO PASS or CITY cards.

Undoubtedly I loved this Museum or you see the real skeleton of T-Rex Sue to an Egyptian mummy! What more could you want. You see a bit of different cultures. It arrives perfectly is CTA bus. It has 2 entrances and using public transport in either of the two you arrive well. There is simple food but this place takes all day so you can eat without problems.

Large and beautiful building. With impeccable gardens. It seems interesting, even if you do not visit it

Really amazing exhibits! Iearned so much and easily spent 4 hours there .

Loved the Mummies exhibit. The staff member inside the exhibit was quite rude, but all other staff were very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The dinosaurs were very cool, as well. I would definitely go back and recommended it to first timers.

Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.

Easy to get to by bus and the Metro.
This was our 3rd visit. We always find new things to see and experience. There's a nice Cafe and several shops inside, too. We noticed many child friendly interactive displays, as well. Just wear comfy shoes!

I Always come here to see my ghost and the darkness.

Besides Wrigley, it's my favorite place in all of Chicago. It's a must see for every visitor.

Very suitable for small pot friends to understand natural history

Super museum, home to Sue, the best preserved and most complete T-Rex exbited in a museum.

Very large with tons of things to look at, read and take pictures of. You'll have to be hoghly motivated and focused to take it all in on one day. Otherwise, I recommend taking it in over two days or prioritizing your favorite/most interesting exhibits first.

Another world class museum in Chicago. The people that live here should feel spoild with the museum riches they have. Great location near the South East edge of Grant Park which makes accessible from mass transit. Helpfully hint: If you plan on doing other tourist attractions in the city, you might want to consider a City Pass or Go Pass (can be purchased from Costco on line at a discount). These could save you a fair amount of money.

Great museum, on par with any I have seen anywhere else. Exhibits are wonderful and great for all ages

Super fun! The exhibits are all over the place so you need all day and a good plan to get through the entire exhibit

It's well worth a day! The exhibitions are well separated and so different that we do not hesitate to start another when we just finished one! Very playful, the museum is very suitable for a public of children ...

Beautiful museum. Amazing space for our private evening event.

I think for the amount of money they are charging for this place, it is worth every penny. There is so much to see, so wear some comfortable shoes and get there early. When you are tired don't forget to sit and enjoy a nice hot meal at the restaurant inside the museum.

Wonderful museum. Must see. Make sure you schedule enough time. There are soany things to see here.

Not enough to see for the price. Sue was the only thing worth seeing in my opinion. Otherwise it's $31 to get in, around $20 for Chicago natives.

This museum was incredible. The big draw is the Dinos, especially the T-Rex, the whole museum is just so good. It's very educational and perfect for both kids and adults. I wish there was more time in the day so we could see it all

Not gonna lie, definitely got giddy in Sue's exhibit. The whole prehistoric section is spectacular.

The museum is comprised of so many beautiful exhibits and artifacts.The place is really good option to visit with family.Moreover , the museum offers many activities for kids where they can have learning as well as fun. Learn while having fun.I went here with my family and the children in our family were very happy with this place. They enjoyed themselves and got to learn so much.The kids were so happy that they keep on asking about our next visit.This is a wonderful place.

An excellent, classic museum. Be sure to check your own museum memberships to see if there are reciprocal deals. Gotta see Sue!

Fun for all!! Save your money by get a package deal and to avoid being in a line. Make sure you're in your comfortable shoes because to get the best out of this place, you'll walk a lot.

The newer technology used at some of the exhibits is really cool. Recommend the mummy and China exhibits, they were above expectations .

My kids loved the dinosaur exibit and we are going back to see the other half we did not complete i cant wait

I loved it, in simple words. If you are in Chicago for a few days definitely visit even if you don't like museums. Spare at least 4 hrs. It is never ending. Research online and decide beforehand what you want to see. If you try to see everything in one visit you will get tired.
